ORLAND — Officers conducting a probation check on Wednesday at an Orland home allegedly found items used to manufacture butane honey oil, according to authorities.

Officers were at a residence in the 6400 block of County Road 7 where 23-year-old Nicholas Charles Melville lives and they reportedly found multiple empty cans of butane, according to a press release from the Glenn Interagency Narcotics Taskforce.
